in recent years, the idea of a “Green Economy” has become very important for many countries as a key approach to securing a sustainable future. The world can no longer overlook the serious environmental and climate problems it faces. This is why many nations are now adopting new ways to address these challenges, with the green economy seen as one of the most reliable solutions. It offers a path not only to protect natural ecosystems but also to ensure a better future for upcoming generations. This article discusses the main causes of rapid climate change to highlight why moving towards a green economy is so necessary. It also focuses on Uzbekistan’s steps in this direction, examining the country's goals, strategies, and initiatives for building a green and sustainable economy. As a developing nation, Uzbekistan is working on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating new job opportunities, and improving its environmental conditions through sustainable methods.
